{Wrap up} Books I read in April, including L’Origine by Milgrom, and Hello World by Fry

April has been a quiet month for reading: in total I’ve read only seven books!

It’s also been the hardest month of unemployment since COVID/ lockdown 1.0 began, and I am barely limping on. I miss London, and my family there so much that I wake up having dreamt of wandering around there with them. Hopefully the worst of the homesickness and missing folks has passed (foolish optimism, sustain me!) and I will be back to reading lots, getting back to work, and seeing loved ones soon.

Hilariously I rediscovered the Classics Club (with 3 months to go until my original time slot expired) this month. Instead of trying and probably failing to cram in 50 classics in 3 months, I sent a message politely asking them whether they could update my challenge time-frame so that I could officially restart from 0.

Now on to this month’s reading wrap up!

 

{Readathon Wrap Up} The London Bookshop Crawl – 2nd April- 5th April 2021

Apologies for the late post about this. Last month I changed internet provider and have been repaid for this with a month of intermittent internet. It’s been down for several days now, and I’m at my wits’ end.

Over the last Bank Holiday weekend, I participated in The London Bookshop Crawl’s Readathon. I went into it with heady hopes of reading 5 books as mentioned in my introduction. Then life happened, and I got distracted by a book a friend sent in the post and spent a day reading that instead.
